Retired Lawyer and Priest Joins AFRECS Board  

Currently serving as Interim Rector at St. James Episcopal Church in Mount Vernon, Virginia, the Rev. Susan B. Pinkerton was elected to the AFRECS Board on June 12. She previously handled complex civil litigation in Oklahoma, before earning an M.Div. from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale. It was during a long visit to the Anglican Church of Tanzania that she developed a love for Africa, leading her to be involved with refugees while serving parishes in Connecticut, Illinois, and California. Her infectious enthusiasm will help strengthen our ties to programs in trauma healing, theological education, and education of young women in the two Sudans.
